The refugee issues are a focus of German politics that has become one of the key factors in the general election and negotiation progress for cabinet-forming in Germany in 2017. Die Linke (The Left) of Germany as the third biggest party and the biggest opposition party in the previous Bundestag

as well as the fifth biggest party in the present Bundestag

originates from the PSD of the DRG

and the WASG broken away from the SPD of the FRG. Since its establishment

it has attached great importance to refugee issues and has put forward a 10-point Refugee Stance at its official website. But an inquiry into relevant documents and data shows that Die Linke has wavered on refugee issues for several times. And for some time

it has even failed to meet the common expectations of a left party. This paper tries to generalize the stages of Die Linke’s stance on refugee issues

analyze them from the perspectives of party politics

the program and practice of Die Linke

and the complicated nature of refugee issues

and point out the limitations and significance of Die Linke’s return to a left-wing stance

whose effect on achieving a balance in the German political eco-system in the scenario of the re-rising and growing of the extreme right-wing populism is to be examined.
